Australian Busine​ss Number

The Australian Business Number (ABN) provides a single identifier when dealing with the tax office or other government departments and agencies. You need an ABN when interacting with the ATO regarding:
  • GST (e.g. to claim GST credits) 
  • The Diesel and Alternative Fuels Grants Scheme 
  • Luxury Car Tax 
  • Wine Equalisation Tax 
  • Applying for an endorsement as a deductible gift recipient 
  • Applying for an endorsement as an income tax exempt charity 
​
NOTE: You can also use an ABN to interact with the ATO on the PAYG system and Fringe Benefits Tax.
To qualify for an ABN, you must be a company registered under Corporations Law in Australia or a business entity carrying on an enterprise in Australia. You will need an ABN if:
  • Your GST turnover is $75, 000 or more 
  • You are a nonprofit organisation with a GST turnover of $150, 000 or more 
  • You need to be endorsed as a gift deductible recipient 
  • You need to be endorsed as an income tax exempt charity 

MORE: See the ABN Essentials section of the ATO website.
